#Techwave 2010 - Day 3: TeamSybase Dinner

TechWave is officially over, but I'll still be here for a couple more days. One reason is because we have a TeamSybase dinner after the conference. One of the things we'll be doing is officially inducting several new members: several SQL Advantage people (who currently do support in a separate forum), Yakov Werde (who in addition to posting in the newsgroups also writes articles for PBDJ and the ISUG journal on a monthly basis, and Jonathan Baker, the guy who has been managing the group for the last couple years and is now moving on to other responsibilities within Sybase.
